I just pee'd a little
[G Tablet General] doctorisin:
There were even more devices... I didn't include the eReaders... I know Roebeet has hacked his Pandigital Novel and others are working on the Nook Color. The KNO devices are going to run Linux?

I love the GTab... this thing is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT. I know the folks on here don't love the screen and are looking for a Tegra II device w/ an IPS screen. I'm more patient and won't look for another device until I see lots of DEV activity here on XDA for them.

It will be neat to see what shakes out and which of these tablets will become competitive in the marketplace.
[G Tablet General] Roxxas049:
We are SO gonna get abandoned :mad:

It took me a long time to sift through the tablet mess and find one that I thought had the most potential. I chose the G tablet, but how long before the well dries up and we see fewer and fewer updates for this tablet because there are so many more to choose from?

I don't have the funds to purchase a new tablet every 6 months.
[G Tablet General] doctorisin:
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/01/01/the-island-of-misfit-tablets/

HAHA!!! Another link in the article points to the "island of misfit tablets" and apparently our beloved GTABLET is the posterchild!
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
LOL...

iPad wannabe's, so now Apple invented the tablet/slate eh?

He's kind of right though - rushing to market with 2.2 on these things is proof enough that Google never meant it for tablets. They exasperated it by not allowing the market to work, but can you blame them? Many games and apps aren't formatted for anything bigger than 4 to 7 inches so people would I think, have a real problem and complain to Google. They nipped that one in the bud. No native home/back/menu in the ui means it has to be included in a custom ui, lest we have to hunt in the dark and sustain much a frustration, since it's in the custom ui, it doesn't persist in certain apps, which means no matter what you'll have to suffer through this frustration at some point, with some app....maybe your favourite one. That or franken-fy the tablet with ghastly mods to find our non-lit capacitive keys....or stretch pretty far to get at them either way on this size device.

I don't think it would be 3/4 as bad if they just made the keys back-lit though. I honestly cannot understand why it wasn't made that way.

In the end, misfit toy? Maybe. But I sure do love mine :D

If I was ever entertaining the idea of getting another tablet this year, my first brand choice would be HTC, then Dell or LG. Not really looking forward to anything else. But that's only if my G Tablet falls extremely short of my needs and that's not the case right now.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
I am comfortable withe the future. My first phone was an MT3G and I and many others fel in love with this first wave Google device. TO THIS DAY devs that loved there time with that device are porting newer roms to work in the confines of its 90 MB of ram. That to me is the best part about xda. Taking what you have and making it better every day as a community. Progression and new tek are great but if you can't ever be happy with what you have now you wont be happy with the next thing either.

Speaking of the future though, if Nvidia and HTC turn the lights down low and get there Google on.... till then I fing love my gtablet.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I love my gTab as well but in the end it's another electronic device and I would not hesitate to buy another tab when this one begins to seem too slow and/or a bunch of really cool new apps and games are released but cannot be installed and/or ran on the gTab. When that day comes I'll be on the lookout for another tablet to drop that meets the spec/price/value/xda-dev-support sweet spot the gTab did when I first bought it.

I still have my old Commodore so it's not like I can't appreciate folks that have deep feelings about a device but I enjoy progress as well.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
A lot of action waiting in the wings. But how come they missed the Elocity A10? I expect to receive mine in about 2 weeks, and it has everything my Gtab has, plus a gorgeous IPS screen, with the highest rez in the tablet market.
[G Tablet General] projectzro:
What other tablets?!?!?!

i dont care what ppl say paying only $400 for the best computer substitute i have ever had is not a problem. i looked at MANY tablets including the iPad (but lets face it the iTunes syncing in 5 hours because it has to rename my media and put it in random folders so that i cant mess with my own media fiasco headache is just not worth it) and i had a few basic requirements:

1. Capacitive touch screen only

2. 10" or bigger or its just a large phone

3. Dockable - preferred but not required

4. long lasting battery

5. rootable with custom roms

6. expandable memory

7. both CPU and GPU - at least 1GHz

8. has a reasonable price

the gTablet met all of those without any problems. and im very happy with it to the point that i only use my main computer now for media sync with my zune and programming.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Exactly. (Not to say the mt3g is even close in spec, but for its time) This is why I jumped on the mt3g when it first came out. It just recently can't play some newer games but zenonia 2 works great and so do emulators and flash net surfing. I got a 4gb 10 series SD card just to give it a little boost with davlic partition cash. All I'm saying is these are the fun bits of squeezing every last drop out of our gear as possible that I'm waiting for with the gtablet. Being able to run new apps on my gtablet that someone thought they had to run out and spend 800$ to be able to use.
[G Tablet General] e.mote:
@OP

You're missing the Acer Iconia A100 (the 7" variant). That's the one I have my eyes upon.

Other than that, visit ARMdevices.net for some of the less-recognized tabs that will be coming. Gigabyte, MSI, Shuttle, are all showing tablets at CEBIT. And Samsung/Moto both said they'll have other models on tap this year. So, yes, it will be crowded, which is good news for the consumer. More choices, lower prices.

[G Tablet General] edirector:
All of them why should they be compared to anything? They are stand alone products each with pluses and minuses of their own including crapple.

Nice, sweet, don't you just love choices? Asus Transformer released this month for $399 without keyboard.
[G Tablet General] RedWolf023:
The one that is going to dominate is the Asus Eee Slate ep121. Yeah, it is expensive, but is more like a desktop than any of the others. With windows 8 right around the corner, definitely looking better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedde:
For some reason after i flashed a 2.3.3 over my nightly builds my external speaker stopped working. I cant get it to work, no ringtones no music no nothing going out.

So i am trying to get it back to stock to take it back to best buy and maybe trade it for a motorola atrix.

I cant get the stock recovery back, and i cant downgrade my baseband to the previous one.

Is it possible to downgrade ?

BTW After flashing 2.3.3 i lost the opportunity to get into download mode to flash a 2.3.1 on it.

Any workarounds on this one ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedde:
Noone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
I noticed earlier today, that it is possible to use all of the webtop's console utilities on the phone's command line by simply changing the PATH.

The PATH you need:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

To make life really easy, make a symlink in /system/xbin to bash, and put the PATH into /osh/root/.bashrc.

Also, there is a full libc on the phone, so that could open up more possibilities on the phone as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
This is very nice thanks! One thing though, not sure if it's because I'm using a windows command prompt or not, but using bash through adb I get a bunch of funny characters on the screen for example:

# ls /bin/bash

ls /bin/bash

←[1;32m/bin/bash←[0m

# ls -h /bin/bash

ls -h /bin/bash

←[1;32m/bin/bash←[0m

Do you know how to remove those?

Thanks for the tip!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Da_G:
Those are color codes, the console you are using is reporting itself as capable of displaying colors and really isn't!

Check around for a switch to turn off the color codes (or perhaps use another version of ls like busybox ls)

Download instructions (if the download fails)

install Firefox (if you dont have it already installed)

install this extension

restart firefox and click on the download link.The download dialog will appear, from the list of options, select DownThemAll! Chose a folder where you want to download and hit Start!

*Tip: for faster download, in Firefox go to Tools - DownThemAll Tools - Preferences - Advanced - Advanced download control and set Max. number of segments per download to 10 and hit OK.

This is a download accelerator so please do not try to use it with hosting sites like rapidshare and megaupload, it will not work. The only one I know it works is mediafire.

Instructions for making your own battery mod / custom icons set on UOT kitchen:

Extract framework-res.apk from the downloaded ROM (themed or unthemed, they will both work) or from the addons which are marked as UOT

Go to UOT kitchen

Chose what the type of battery you want. Play through the options and choose the one that suits you

If you chose SCB with %, Version Z, Custom type, colors, the next step is for customizing the types and colors. As well, is your choice.

If you chose SCB with %, Version [A-O](that O might change in the future) there will be a step to chose the type.

After this click next.

Now you will have an option to chose if you want to customize Icon types. This will change your notification icons, if you want to change them then select themed icons set, if not just click next.

Next step is to personalize the notification bar. You cannot use this function as the notification bar in Samsung ROMs is contained in twframework-res and UOT kitchen cannot process that file. So dont change any value and click next.

Now you may choose a custom boot animation. My ROM already comes with a custom bootanimation but if you wish to change it, I cannot stop you. So, if you want to change it, select from the dropdown menu /system/media/ (Cyanogen based ROMs) and then chose the boot animation that you wish and click next.

Now you will be able to chose a set of custom windows animations. It is fully compatible with this ROM so you can chose the one you like. You can preview them in the left after selecting. Click next when you finish

Here you upload the framework-res file that you extracted from the ROM archive. Click on first option of choose file and browse to the place you have framework-res.apk. Chose it and click next.

Now it will upload it to UOT server for processing.

You have to wait for the cooking to finish and you will be given a zip named UOT********.zip

Download that zip, put it on your sdcard and install it from recovery

You're done. You just customized the look of your phone by yourself. Good job, I bet it looks awesome ;)

Omg yay! Will flash this asap! Thanks icezar1
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Charging up now to give it a run. Thanks for the work.
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
I think I will give this a try as well. Can you tell me what kernel/modem combo you went with?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Damn, I forgot to add that info :D
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
First time.

Well today is going to be my first time with one of your roms. time to refresh my cappy. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
awesome! You should make a customizing kitchen, similar (if not exactly like) Serendipity's kitchen method!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Im considering it
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Looks awesome, good work
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
I am running v2.3 now, can this be installed without going back to stock? and can the circle battery mod be installed on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
This is a wipe release, backup your apps with TiBu. And, yes, is fully compatible with UOT kitchen.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
I guess what I should of asked is do I need to go back to stock Eclair 2.1 as per the general instructions for installing a ROM? Or can I just use clockwork recovery.

and thanks for the new ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
So it can be installed over v.2.3, right?

Will the GPS on this ROM be as good as it was on the v.2.3?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Not necessary. If you are running a 2.2.1 ROM currently, you dont have to.

I didnt go to stock for a month now and I flashed god knows how many times.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Maybe slightly better. For me is bit better.
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
Do I need to pull out the SIM and external sdcard during installation?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Just first booted the themed.

Restoring now >>> Interested to see what you did to my launcherpro:p:p

Will I lose my paid features?

Theme colors so far are AWESOME! Nice and brilliant without being overbearing.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
OP updated
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
I see the same thing, 0 bytes.

Also, forgive me if this has been answered before, but what is the auto silent mode?
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
Thanks, that worked :)

I never really looked into the speedmod settings, some interesting stuff in there.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Auto silent mode lets you set between what hours and in which days you would like to have your phone go silent automatically.

I know there are apps that do that but is better to have it in the ROM
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
OK, got it, thanks. Loving this ROM so far!

Thank you so much for putting out an un-themed version. I actually like most of the stock theme, and the parts that I don't, like the notification bar icons and battery meter, are easy to change with the UOT!

Top notch work!
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
Had to change browser to download 3.1, for those that are seeing 0 bytes for the un-themed version.

I was using Firefox, but switched to IE to get it downloaded.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
anyway to stop the shutdown sound
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
Yes, you can use SGS Tools to turn it off.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
thanks. How about changing the defualt launchers on the themed Launcher Pro. Would like to swap out the internet shortcut.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] gregoor:
I'm loving the themed version of this rom every thing is running smooth.

Great work. I'm sorry but the power control widget is kinda ugly doesnt really fit in with the rest of the theme.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Getting Force closes when tapping on Auto Silent
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
This is addressed in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Or.. I re-uploaded the archive :)
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
btw does this enable the audience chip that I keep hearing about?

Currently on Andromeda, was waiting for your 3.1 :P

I wonder if that will fix my absymally low speaker sound (for phone calls only)
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
No, only captivate kernels with captivate modems have the audience chip enabled. Both the kernel and modem here are i9000 based.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
thanks, sorry missed it. How about the ability to change the default launch options in the Launcher Pro dock? Already tried to long click and change.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
He built the LauncherPro theme off the SenseUI look... If you want the Launcher pro dock, then reinstall your version of launcher pro.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
not looking for a new dock. I m looking to replace some of the apps on the sense UI dock that come with 3.1 themed
[Captivate Android Development] Pierce533:
Has anyone else applying the themed update from 3.0 to 3.1 lost their gallery thumbnail in applications? Mine disappeared.

Edit: I deleted the the gallery 3d apk from the system folder and reinstalled the app from the market and the thumbnail is back.
[Captivate Android Development] james.roddy:
I really like the 2.2.1 email - is there any way to keep this when updating to v3.1?
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
copy the email apk from sd/system/app and after installing 3.1 take your copy and put it in the same directory. Make sure you are in RW and click OK to replace when asked, or rename the original if you want to keep it and jsut drop 2.2.1 mail in. Reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The update contains 2.2.1 email, just that is from JS3
[Captivate Android Development] james.roddy:
You're awesome! I love this ROM :) Updated and running smooth, thanks for fixing the power widget in the themed version too.

Is there any chance we will be able to get the black Power Widget and the Black Google Search bar back from v2.3?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, will post them later on
[Captivate Android Development] FroggyStyle:
As my luck would have it flashed to 3.0 last night then get home and find an update. lol

Think I will stick w/ 3.0 for now as it seems most of the changes are cosmetic or don't really affect my use.

But again I must say this rom is great, 9.5 hours after charge and still at 70% on the battery and it runs super smooth..

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
There is an update package in the 3rd post. It contains only the updated apps, not wiping anything ;)
[Captivate Android Development] FroggyStyle:
:) Thank you sir
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Is it possible to keepthe launcher pro dock but change shortcuts and keep the same style icons?

Sent from a Serendipity ROM
[Captivate Android Development] -Kevlar-:
My "send" button is red on the dialer. Is that normal and if so, why? Also anyway to get the bottom sense buttons to highlight when pressed.
[Captivate Android Development] FroggyStyle:
Should I have charged to 100% before I used the update package? Battery went from 70 to 20 in the last 4 hours since I ran it with not much use.
[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
Installed with the black bar. Everything seems to work. Thanks for a great ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
I thought that the 'Sleep Death' bug had been solved a few kernels ago???

;)
[Captivate Android Development] djoanes:
I've enabled tactile feedback and put it on max.. It feels pretty intense in the setting menu, but I type on the keyboard/press the buttons on the bottom it feels very timid.. can't really feel it unless you really focus

Anyone know what's up?

Awesome rom though! I haven't had my tactile working nicely since stock rogers rom.

Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] kcmedic:
I've noticed that too.
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Coming from Supernova 2.3, I really like this ROM. But I was really disappointed to see that the kernel's stock settings are for ext2 loops to be set, which caused big instability issues for me earlier today.

Other than that, it's solid. I'm just frustrated because I have an app somewhere that for the last couple of months has plagued any ROM I use with horrible battery drain, even with 3 different batteries. At most my phone lasts about 10-12 hours with light usage.
[Captivate Android Development] dracuanh:
rock as always :D

Fast and efficient, battery life is impressive!!
[Captivate Android Development] ndmc:
Running on 2.3 now. Will update to this tonight. Great work Icezard. Thanks alot
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
will look into that
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, is normal because i painted it red. And , no, there is no way to get the bottom buttons to highlight when pressed as the icons are build in the dock .png
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
hm, shouldnt be necessary. Anyway, will push an update today again to make sure the draining bug is gone for good.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
First, please delete/edit the first part of this post as it is incorrect. The kernel comes with STOCK RFS configuration. I dont know what you had set before, but if the loops were activated on Supernova and you didnt deactivate them before flashing, then you still have them. Period.

And in regards to the battery drain, I will push an update today that should fix this issue for good.
